Abby returns to Genoa City on Monday, February 11th, and according to portrayer Marcy Rylan, the Naked Heiress did a little soul searching while she was hanging out with mom Ashley in New York.

"For the first time, Abby is feeling a little embarrassed about her previous choices," Marcy said. "She's trying really hard to be a better person...and figure out where she fits if she's not running around naked." The character will have some interaction with paramour Carmine, Marcy confirmed, and "Abby is a little surprised by what Carmine has to say."

Marcy readily accepted the invitation to come back to the show after being let go last fall; it was only later that she started to realize her return might be a bit awkward. "It didn't even cross my mind before that it [my first day] could be a little awkward... so I was a little bit nervous. On Monday of my first week, I did my first fitting and we have a new costume designer so then I was really nervous because it felt like I was starting over somewhere new. But she picked such fabulous clothes and I was trying on all these outfits that were very Abby, so once I was in the clothes, I was like, 'Oh, yeah, this feels like second nature.' So then I was super excited."

I like Abby...and I like Marcy Rylan playing her...she is a breath of fresh air among a bunch of really stuffy people that take life too seriously.....and as a result they are miserable... :biggrin: lighten up, life is short :biggrin:
